We are…“Friends of East Grand Bahama Fishermen” Our Goal – Get these bonefishing guides and commercial fishermen back on the water with repaired hulls and new motors, so they can start making a living again, helping bring back the local economies of McLean’s Town, Sweeting's Cay and the East End. Who we are - “A Partnership between Rotary , Bonefish & Tarpon Trust, Globalmedic, OBS Marine and local Bahamians and residents”
1. Repair the boats - We have set up Fiberglass Boat Repair Shops under Tents in McLeans Town and Sweetings Cay to repair boat hulls damaged from Hurricane Dorian a Category 5 Storm.
2. Buy new outboard motors - 90 % of all fishing boats in the East End were damaged from Hurricane Dorian. We are repairing boats and buying engines for Fishermen who have lost their livelihood.
3. Use Local suppliers- OBS Marine has stepped forward to provide new Mercury Engine motors at the best possible prices.
